Within the next hour, Blaze stripped naked and made himself comfortable on the operating table.
Was it awkward? Yes.
But not for him. He was a zombie, so what was there to shy away from?
Marrow was there, but she was more concerned about his safety than anything else. As for Voss and Alaric, they still didn't think it was a good idea.
"Son, listen to me, please—"
No need.
"Master, please reconsider the move. It's one thing to feed the cordyceps, but to let it inside is suicidal. We can't guarantee we'll be able to stop it once it starts."
That's the point.
Blaze replied, pointing at his head.
There's a nucleus there. I'll be safe as long as it's intact. Marrow will take care of that. The two of you will look after the rest of my body. Understood?
With that, Blaze popped his claws and made several cuts all over his body. Rotten blood drizzled out of it, awakening the fungus. He lay back on the table, allowing the cordyceps to take hold of him.
